With respect to the cost of the hard drive, if the $895 includes the 
controller and the 8mb is formatted, then the price does not seem to be
too out-of-line, just a little high.

Regarding the question about obsolescence, I think that if you like a system
(i.e., it does almost everything you want) and don't think that you will be
replacing it anytime in the near to mid future (1 to 3 years) then it doesn't
really matter if the system is not "state-of-the-art".  If it's functional, use
it; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
